Mounties?

On my way back from the post office this morning, I passed a Tampa Mounted Police officer taking shelter from the rain under an overpass. I didn't even know we had Mounties in Tampa.

Now, naturally, I have "The Mountie Song" by the Arrogant Worms stuck in my head. But that's okay; I like that song.

Yuppers. If you're in Ybor after 11pm, you can see the mounties and the horses decked out in riot gear. No joke.

What kind of riot gear does a horse wear?

They wear a curved plastic shield over their eyes and nose - something like a big welders mask.
